Please join us for our biannual litter clean-up event and help clean-up 2nd Street along the Refuge before our Build Your Refuge Day event the following weekend! We will be cleaning up 2nd Street and the Refuge itself on Saturday September 14th, 2019 from 9:00 am until 12:00 pm. We will meet at the Refuge House (7851 2nd Street SW) at 9:00 am for coffee and bagels and to provide a safety briefing, discuss cleanup assignments, and provide trash bags and supplies.
We will provide high visibility safety vests for volunteers. Please bring a pair of gloves although we will provide gloves for volunteers that don’t have them. For your safety, please wear closed-toed shoes, long pants, and a long sleeved shirt. We have a few trash grabbers/pickers but if you have one or more, please bring them. If you want to track your Volunteer hours, you can sign-up for the task in our Volunteer system, but signing up is not required to attend.
